Boschendal Grande Cuvée Brut Pinot Noir Chardonnay 2007










It's Valentine's day so a bubbly was in order with tonight's fish soup and sour dough bread. It's cold, dark and snowing outside yet warm inside and this bubbly is very dry with a lot of flavour. 5 years old after a vintage in 2007.
I imported this one myself so it's not available in Systembolaget, but it should be. It's around 150SEK and worth a try wine.
"300 years of winemaking at Boschendal have created a tradition of excellence. Only top quality grapes, picked at optimum ripeness and sensitively vinified are used to ensure that each bottle bears the distinctive Boschendal hallmark."
"This Méthode Cap Classique uses the classic combination of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes. Extended lees contact gives the wine a luxurious mouthfeel, with elegant bubbles bearing flavours of green apples and white pears complement with a hint of baked biscuit."
